We have always thought that if any
man in Florida ever rose up to defend the

Harris, of the Ocsla 1unner. He has full
filed our expectations and he is welcome

The FLoRIDIAN appears to be getting
the best Of the Times Union on the ques-
6on of the omission of the printing clause
from the new Constitution. The charge

H Jones stands in the category of having
slandered his neighbor of the FLoRIDIAN.

The Seville Independent is in error
in an article in reference to the FLoRID-
IAE's figures about the Legislative print
ing, but as the editor personally states to
rs that the wrong was simply inadvertent
and that he will correct it in the next
Issue of his paper, it is unnecessary for us

the FLoRD1AN was exactly correct, as
